Word dependencies: Forth Explorer, source code explorer. Ftags

Hello,
I inherited maintenance of some (non Forth Inc. :)) Forth code and found
"Forth Explorer" useful. It can show what depends on a word and words on
which it depends. It calls for some project specific setup.

  S. Carter wrote an ANS Forth utility called ftags that remains compatible
with the Emacs editor. Emacs Tags supports the M-x whatever emacs search
and replace mechanisms for regexps, strings, etc. For example Find Tag
(Meta-.) will find a particular tag in the source file, and Tags-search
<regular_expression> will find all dependent words that use the regular
expression.
